Paralysis Lawyer in Clovis, CA

When paralysis occurs due to someone else's negligence, the physical, emotional, and financial consequences can be overwhelming. For residents of Clovis and throughout Fresno County, finding experienced legal representation is crucial to securing the compensation needed for long-term care and recovery. This page explores how Moseley Collins Law helps paralysis victims navigate the complex legal landscape while pursuing the justice they deserve.

Paralysis—the loss of muscle function and sensation in parts of the body—often results from traumatic injuries to the spinal cord or brain. These catastrophic injuries can transform lives in an instant, leaving victims facing enormous medical expenses, lost income, and significant lifestyle changes.

At Moseley Collins Law, we recognize that no financial recovery can fully restore what you've lost. However, proper compensation can provide the resources necessary for specialized medical care, rehabilitation services, home modifications, and ongoing support that paralysis victims often require for life.

The specific nature of your paralysis affects both your medical needs and potential compensation:

• Quadriplegia (Tetraplegia): Affects all four limbs and typically results from injuries to the cervical (neck) region of the spinal cord
• Paraplegia: Involves paralysis of the lower extremities, usually caused by injuries to the thoracic or lumbar spinal cord
• Monoplegia: Paralysis affecting a single limb
• Hemiplegia: Paralysis on one side of the body, often resulting from brain injuries or stroke
• Diplegia: Similar parts on both sides of the body are affected, commonly both legs
• Partial Paralysis: Some movement or sensation remains in affected areas
• Complete Paralysis: Total loss of muscle function and sensation in affected areas

Numerous situations can lead to paralysis injuries that may warrant legal action in Clovis and surrounding areas:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, truck, and motorcycle collisions are leading causes of spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis
• Medical Malpractice: Surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes, birth injuries, or delayed diagnosis
• Slip and Fall Incidents: Hazardous conditions on public or private property
• Sports Injuries: Improper supervision or dangerous conditions in recreational activities
• Acts of Violence: Assaults or other intentional harmful acts
• Defective Products: Malfunctioning equipment, vehicles, or medical devices

Paralysis cases involve unique challenges that require specialized legal knowledge:

Paralysis injuries demand extensive medical documentation and expert testimony to establish causation and future care requirements. At Moseley Collins Law, we work with leading experts to build comprehensive cases that account for all aspects of your injury.

The lifetime costs of paralysis are substantial. The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center estimates that first-year expenses for high tetraplegia can exceed $1 million, with subsequent annual costs of $185,000 or more. Our lawyers ensure all future medical needs, lost income, and life care planning are properly calculated.

Insurance companies often attempt to minimize settlements in catastrophic injury cases. With over 40 years of experience, our legal team understands these tactics and how to counter them effectively.

1. Free Initial Consultation: We'll listen to your story and evaluate the merits of your case without any cost or obligation
2. Investigation: Thorough gathering of evidence, including accident reports, medical records, and witness statements
3. Expert Collaboration: Working with specialists to document the full extent of injuries and future care needs
4. Comprehensive Damages Assessment: Calculating all current and future costs associated with your paralysis
5. Settlement Negotiations: Aggressive advocacy with insurance companies to secure fair compensation
6. Trial Preparation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, preparing a compelling case for court presentation

Victims of paralysis may be entitled to various forms of compensation:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Rehabilitation costs
• Home modifications
• Adaptive equipment
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• In-home care expenses

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
